User interface

On pages with pagination, such as the Wall, you can navigate to the previous or next page with [Ctrl + →] or [Ctrl + ← ]. Note: on Mac it's [Ctrl + Shift + arrow key].

The "Browse" item in the top menu does not link to a random sentence anymore. We have added instead a sub-item ("Random sentence") for this purpose. This should make the sub-menu accessible for most people using a mobile device.

The icon that indicates whether a Chinese sentence is written with simplified or traditional characters has been restored. This icon has also been added for Cantonese and Shanghainese.

We fixed an issue where CJK characters were not displayed with the correct glyph.

Users can deleted their own sentences

Anyone can now delete their own sentence, if (and only if) it doesn't have any translation.
You will not need to ask a corpus maintainer to delete your sentences anymore, when you have added a sentence by mistake.

Other

When a sentence is tagged 'OK', the tag is removed
when the sentence is modified. Note: if you are editing a sentence from
the sentence's page, you may notice that the tag remains even after you
have edited it. This is normal. You will need to refresh the page to
see it disappear.

In some situations, logging in
systematically redirects to the homepage. We changed the redirection to
lead instead to the last page viewed before attempting to log in.

Search

It's now possible to search words with the dot, comma and apostrophe symbols in Lojban.

There is no more distinction between half-width and full-width characters. Searching half-width characters (for instance 10) and full-width characters (for instance １０) will return the same results. This covers Japanese kanas, Korean hangul, and Latin alphabet.

Non-CJK words are now searchable in sentences of CJK-based languages.

Note: The full/half-width and non-CJK searches modifications are not applied yet. They will be applied tomorrow when the corpus is fully re-indexed.

UI fixes and improvements

Clicking on the arrow in the search bar will swap the "from" and "to" languages.

Pressing enter when adding a sentence while using an IME will no more submit the sentence.

Wall messages lost in crash re-importation

A while back we had a crash where all the messages on the Wall got lost. We had some backup but the data in the backup was not structured in a way that would enable an easy restoration of the messages.

Gillux worked on a way to reimport them and the script is now ready. It is not scheduled yet, but you should be aware that Tatoeba will be under maintenance for a short time (around half an hour) when we reimport the messages.
